Gang activity in San Gabriel Valley,California

There's a lot of Gang activities where i used to live at.There is a lot of shooting.A lot of people I know has passed away by being in a gang.I think its bad being in a gang because I think your just asking to be dead.Your like a target your asking for it.There is a lot of drugs in the city I lived in to.There is a lot of little boys that join in a gang when there around 10 and some times even younger.Some people just do it cause they want to fit in and also they do cause there life since there were little was messed up and the guys or girls in a gang make them feel like there own family.I think that's really dumb.I don't think that's an excuse to mess up your life or lose it.
